Before you invest: we do not offer advice on the suitability of IPOs. It’s important you understand the risks of investing and make sure you have the details you need to make an informed decision. Any decision to invest in the proposed SpaceX IPO should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the prospectus, disclosure summary, and any official supplements to these. Investing for 5+ years increases your chances of positive returns compared to cash savings. But investments rise and fall in value, so you could get back less than you put in. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, ask for advice.

What’s happening?
SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp) plans to list its shares on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
After being held privately for over 20 years, the Initial Public Offering (IPO) means retail investors will be given the chance to own shares in the company for the first time.
If the IPO takes place, UK investors should be able to apply for shares with HL.
Why is the SpaceX IPO so highly anticipated?
Founded in 2002, SpaceX claims to be the only company building the integrated hardware and software infrastructure of the future across space, connectivity, and AI.
They design, manufacture, launch and operate products and services built on cutting-edge technologies, including some of the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. They aim to provide reusable rockets, a fully global internet service, satellite-to-mobile communications and a real-time information and entertainment platform, supplemented by the use of AI.

Is the SpaceX IPO right for you?
Investing in individual shares as part of an IPO isn’t right for everyone. Investments rise and fall, so you could get back less than you invest. Before you invest, you should make sure:
Any shares you own form part of a diversified portfolio.
You're happy to invest for the long term - we suggest at least five years.
Any decision to invest is based on the prospectus and disclosure summary. Specific risks will be detailed in the disclosure summary.
You understand the nature of an IPO. Companies won’t always have a long track record and can therefore be difficult to value or price.
You’re comfortable that you won’t know the purchase price in advance of the SpaceX IPO.
By covering or mentioning an IPO, we are not endorsing the issue or attempting to generate interest in the listing. This isn’t personal advice. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, ask for advice.

Whenever companies list through an Initial Public Offering (IPO), we strive to let you invest from day one.
Between March 2025 and March 2026, we participated in every single IPO on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) main market and Alternative Investment Market (AIM) that was open to everyday investors – a 100% participation rate.
On average, we secured 49% of the total retail allocation across these listings, meaning nearly half of all shares made available to individual investors came through HL.
We attempt to cover all IPOs available to UK retail investors. But due to the size and specialist nature of certain IPOs, this isn’t always possible.
